After Barry's big win in North Carolina (throw ya hands up) and managing to virtually tie with HRC in Indiana, you would think that this long primary would be a done deal and we could get to the business of making sure Sen. McCain don't get no where near the White House come November. Well clearly, we're all wrong and although HRC is behind in everything needed to cinch the nod - pledged delegates, popular vote, money to fund this never ending campaign... Ol' girl still insists that she has the broad base of support needed to win the general campaign.
Who is part of this broad base of support? Well, according to Hill her wide base can be defined as thus: "I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. She then went on to offer up an Associated Press article as evidence "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."
This wide appeal sounds more like "white appeal". As her chances of winning the Dem nod in any honest and fair get smaller and smaller she resorts more and more to race-baiting. It's a joke. Her hubby went from the first "black" (or sax playing, barbecue loving, philandering, down home) President to a blustery angry old white man. She went from slapping skins with Marian Wright Edelman to getting Civil Rights OGs to sell out their legacies for a piece of the Clinton pie.
How did Brother Obama go from not being black enough, to being so black he went to a church lead by an angry black militant, to an elitist, to someone who was too out of touch (ie, black) to win the support of her base (aka white folks)? I call shenanigans.
I'm just waiting for her to tell me or at least Wolf Blitzer how the federal government is gonna pay for this gas tax holiday and how the candidates intend on addressing our crumbling school system, national infrastructure, and booming prison population. You know, the issues.
